About us

Jana was born in 1982 in Kranj. She went to primary school and high school in Kranj and finished dentistry in 2009. She got her first job as an independent dentist for children and adults in ZD Tržič. After that she returned to Kranj, where she focused mostly on her work with adults, which insures constant contact with modern techniques and materials that are used in adult dentistry. He focuses on communication with patients and tries to respond to every question, because she is positive that including patients into treatment actively is the key and that results are also better if oral health habits continue outside our practice too.

She takes care not only of her professional education, but also her physical conditioning. She used to train swimming as a child in Triglav Kranj, now she spends her time cycling and jogging. She has two sons, who never run out of questions for her. That is how she keeps up in every field, which insures her to perform her work well without it being a burdon.

I am a very open, communicative and reliable person, who is always willing to help.

I chose to study dentistry, because I had already worked as a dental assistant in dr. Franko’s practice during secondary school. I also received a scholarship from this practice. I feel at home in this practice and am very happy that my path has led me back; this time in the role of a dentist.

Actually it was hard to choose between studying dental medicine and general medicine. I knew, I wanted to help people, but at the same time I was enthusiastic about aesthetics and handwork. That is how dentistry prevailed and today I know, that I made the right decision.

Life was always interesting and diverse during my studies. I usually finished my exams as soon as possible, so twice a year I had a lot of time for oversea travels with the purpose of surfing. I got to know many different cultures, broadened my horizon and learned to fluently speak brazilian portuguese. I earned the money necessary for my travels by working as an assistant and by holding a scholarship for talented students. For a few months I also worked as an assistant in Rio de Janeiro.

As a student, I became fascinated with laser dentistry, while working Melita Franko’s practice. I mainly learned about the practical aspect of using a laser, and towards the end of my studies I attended several theoretical training courses in this field. Now it is an indispensable device for my daily use in the practice.

Immediately after my professional exam I started my first job in a public and private dental clinic in Muljava, where I worked for one year. After that I got a job at a private dental clinic in Ljubljana, where I stayed for another year. I believe that both experiences have given me broad insights into private and public health dentistry and a lot of practical experience.

I am looking forward to new challenges in my career and collaborating again with Melita Franko, dr. dent. med.

Her job as dental assistant presents new challenges and widens her horizons in the field of dentistry. She has been learning new techniques and technologies, gaining new knowledges and – most importantly – working with people makes her happy.
